Is it possible to monitor Bamboo remote agents using JConsole

[Heshan Manamperi]

Is it possible to monitor Bamboo remote agents using JConsole, as how we monitor other Atlassian products? 

Since remote agents runs on JVM, i think this should be possible. Have any one tried this?

Hey Heshan, yes you should be able to monitor Bamboo remote agents using JConsole the same way you monitor Bamboo. Take a look at the following page for further instructions on how to set this up:

• https://confluence.atlassian.com/bamboo/monitoring-and-profiling-bamboo-289277373.html

The only difference with remote agents is that instead of adding the jmxremote argument to the bamboo.sh file (as suggested in the doc), you'll need to find the <BAMBOO_AGENT_HOME>/conf/wrapper.conf and add it there as an additional wrapper java argument, and restart the agent. Here's an example of how the file will look like after adding the jmxremote argument for local monitoring:

wrapper.java.additional.1=-Dbamboo.home=/Users/brosa/Documents/Docker/Atlassian/remote-agents/bamboo-6.3.1/home
wrapper.java.additional.2=-Dbamboo.agent.ignoreServerCertName=false
wrapper.java.additional.3=-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote

Hope this helps.
